I thank the Tánaiste again for that response. In view of the heightened level of anxiety about the operations of certain vessels in our territorial waters, and given that we have a long shoreline and are off the west coast of Europe, albeit not directly because one country stands between us and it, can we be assured, and can the Tánaiste be assured from the information available to him, that we have sufficiently invested in the necessary resources to be able to identify a threat well in advance concerning sensitive communications, power lines, communications lines or whatever may be the case in this regard?
